Just annotate auto_compressed_types="gz|bz2|gz,bz2" in datatypes_conf.xml and get for free:
- The compressed datatype with correct extension, no need to have a class definition.
- Converters from the compressed datatype to the uncompressed datatype.
- A sniffer in the correct order.
Additionally, the hacky way we were controlling whether types would be sniffed or not has been improved. This can now be set in the datatypes_conf.xml file or read from a global Galaxy configuration option for options that haven't been explicitly set on a per-datatype basis in the configuration (sniff_compressed_dynamic_datatypes_default).
This should simplify all future datatypes moving in this direction and introduces the possibility of also just loading them in dynamically as needed based on what the tools in the tool panel annotate for inputs and outputs. See a tool with an input of type "genbank.gz" should be enough to trigger this someday I hope.
This directory contains tools only useful for testing and
demonstrating aspects of the tool syntax. Run the test driver script
'run_tests.sh' with the '-framework' as first argument to run through
these tests. Pass in an '-id' along with one of these tool ids to test
a single tool.
Some API tests use these tools to test various features of the API,
tool, and workflow subsystems. Pass the argument
'-with_framework_test_tools' to 'run_tests.sh' in addition to '-api'
to ensure these tools get loaded during the testing process.
Finally, to play around with these tools interactively - simply
replace the 'galaxy.ini' option 'tool_config_file' with:
tool_config_file = test/functional/tools/samples_tool_conf.xml
